Subject: Bug in sudo completions
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2023 06:23:41 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZUBQFQLwWw6cSnJH@qedette> (raw)
Completions for sudo fail when specifying environment variables on the
command line. For example:
sudo a=1 ls -<TAB>
gives
No matches for: `file'
while
sudo ls -<TAB>
gives
zsh: do you wish to see all 171 possibilities (58 lines)?
This is likely because the completions script thinks any argument not
starting with - means the program to complete, which is not true.
Quoting from man sudo
sudo [-ABbEHnPS] [-C num] [-D directory] [-g group] [-h host] [-p prompt] [-R directory] [-T timeout] [-u user] [VAR=value] [-i | -s]
[command [arg ...]]
Note that VAR=value can occur before -i or -s and before command.
